Just in time for your New Year’s resolution, the Blue Cross RiverRink has unveiled a mobile app for iPhones called Go Figure! This new and free application, available in the iTunes store, will demonstrate to Blue Cross RiverRink visitors the fitness benefits of ice skating. 

Independence Blue Cross (IBC) is the founding and presenting sponsor of the Blue Cross RiverRink, helped develop this mobile app as an added benefit for Blue Cross RiverRink customers – many of whom are also IBC members. 

Specifically designed for Blue Cross RiverRink customers, the Go Figure!  application is available for the iPhone or iPad. By simply pressing “play”, users can calculate the amount of time they have spent skating, and the app will calculate how many calories they have burned. Participants can also press “pause” to take a break or stop to log their statistics. 

Application users can also review current, recent, and overall statistics or try skating tricks by viewing the quick mini-tutorials. The application recommends how to burn more calories by trying tricks like Forward Swizzles, One Foot Glides, Cross Overs, Turning Backwards, Backward Swizzles, and a Two Foot Spin. 

 The Go Figure! app contains information on the fitness benefits of ice skating as well as tips on lacing your skates and recommendations for beginners. It also provides details on skating sessions and special events at the Blue Cross RiverRink – everything a visitor needs to make a visit to the Blue Cross RiverRink complete.  “At IBC we aim to create and partner on innovative health tools that are convenient, inexpensive, and user-friendly,” said Dr. Richard Snyder, IBC’s senior vice president and chief medical officer.  “The Go Figure! skating app complements the IBX Healthy Steps program in that it encourages individual and group exercise in a way that is enjoyable at any fitness level.
